LEARNSPROUT PRIVACY POLICY

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in LearnSprout, Inc. ("LearnSprout", "us", "we" or "our") and our Service, as described in the LearnSprout Terms of Service.

This LearnSprout Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) describes the Information that you trust us with and how we handle the Information in terms of the steps we take to protect your Information. By using the Service, you consent to the privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the LearnSprout Terms of Service (the “Terms of Service”) that can be found at: https://www.learnsprout.com/terms. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this Privacy Policy have the meaning given to them in the Terms of Service.

For purposes of this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Service, “you” or “your” means:

(i) the individual who is agreeing to the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy, and registering for an Account with LearnSprout on behalf of your Subscribing Organization (as defined below);

(ii) any other individual authorized to use the Service on behalf of the Subscribing Organization and who uses the Service; and

(iii) the school, organization, company or other entity on whose behalf that you (as the individual) are registering for an Account and on whose behalf that you are using the Services (the "Subscribing Organization").

At LearnSprout, we take data security and the privacy of your students very seriously. Protecting personally identifiable information (“PII”) of your students is at the very core of what we do. Once the connection to LearnSprout is made, your Information is secured on a remote, dedicated server. Your Information is kept separate from other Subscribing Organizations, so there is no possible way for other LearnSprout customers to view your students’ PII. LearnSprout is FERPA compliant and adheres to all other federal and state laws in regard to student data. LearnSprout does not share, sell, or use school personally identifiable information for marketing purposes.

The information that you send and share with us

School Student Information. School Student Information is described in Section 6 of the Terms of Service, that can be found at: https://www.learnsprout.com/terms. The School Student Information covers a variety of informational fields (the “School Data Fields”) that will be synchronized with the Service. The School Student Information that you provide to the Service may include personally identifiable information of your students. Personally identifiable information is information provided such as student name, address and ethnicity. If you would like to review our standard categories of the School Data Fields, please go to here. As part of the Service, you will also be able to manually enter additional information related to the School Student Information on an individual student basis (this additional information is also deemed “School Student Information” for purposes of the Terms). We reserve the right to update and change the School Data Fields, but will only do so upon prior notice to you. IF YOU DON'T AGREE TO ANY CHANGES TO THE SCHOOL STUDENT DATA FIELDS, THEN YOU MUST PROVIDE US WITH WRITTEN NOTICE TO SUPPORT@LEARNSPROUT.COM AND WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT (INCLUDING ALL RELATED SCHOOL STUDENT INFORMATION) UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US OTHERWISE.

We may, however, maintain anonymized or aggregated information, including usage data, for analytics purposes.

We may use your e-mail address (a) to contact you for administrative purposes such as customer service, to address intellectual property infringement, right of privacy violations or defamation issues related to your Information posted on the Service or (b) to send you promotional messages related to the Service and the activities of third parties we work with.
